May Adventures

In my last post, I said that I'm always excited for May, even when nothing exciting happens. Well, lots of exciting things have already happened and the month isn't even over yet.

I'm back in Salt Lake after visiting Vernal! Yay. I miss Vernal already. That's where my home is. Almost all of my friends are there.

I went shooting with my brother and my little sisters while I was in town. That was fun! I shot my new .38 special, which I named Sexy. Then Josh had me shoot his 7mm mag. Whoops. I think I should have been even more careful before shooting it. My shoulder was fine but my nose... Well, I'm grateful I didn't get a black eye. I did have a nice little headache for a few days though. Still, after that I was much more willing to shoot any of the other guns because I knew the kick wouldn't be as bad.

And it's such beautiful weather outside! I spent several hours yesterday hanging out with my brother and a bunch of friends outside under a tree. It was awesome! We got to watch the solar eclipse. That was pretty much awesome. I think today I'll spend a bit more time outside just because it was so much fun. Maybe even go for a nice long walk.

But I wish I was in Vernal. I miss that place. I miss growing a garden with my mom. I miss digging around in the dirt and doing yard work. I feel like I'm getting lazy out in college. That's good news for my mom, since it means that when I'm home, I'll work outside for her but I want to be able to do that right now.

I guess that's enough rambling for today. I think May has become my month.

May is here!

I don't know what it is about May, but I love it. Last year, I kept saying that something good was going to happen in May. It was mostly because I was really excited to eat some delicious fruit and to have classes be over and summer to begin.

Let's just say not much has changed.

I'm still way excited for this month. Sadly, every passing month means I am getting older and therefore "more mature" but this year it also means 6 MORE MONTHS UNTIL I TURN 21!!!! That means I get to take the concealed carry class and buy LOTS of pistols, as much as I have money for (which isn't much) and have slightly more freedom with that. No more walking along campus scared that I won't be able to defend myself.

But anyways, May is here. And with it, the start of an epic summer. I have a feeling this summer will be amazing. My best friend will go on a mission, hopefully I'll find a second job and I get to go to the lake! That's what I'm most excited for, going to the lake before Don goes on his mission. And I get to come home and visit for a couple weeks, starting Saturday!

I have been looking forward to this two week vacation home for quite some time. Hopefully, two weeks is enough time to visit with all of my friends. If not, well, some of them will have to come visit me! Becca, you still should come out to the U for school, whenever you come. And Rachael? Don't you dare buy a house before I do. That wouldn't be fair...

Speaking of Becca and Rachael, we are going to have to plan a few ROFL nights with sparkling cider and everything. And Ali and Rachael both need to come stay with me for a week this summer. See? I've got so much planned for this summer. It's going to be a blast!!! 

Whatever happens, I will have an amazing summer. Let's hope all of you do too. I wouldn't want anyone to get jealous, after all.
